Riding with Robots writes "Mars researchers report that a robotic spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet has revealed hundreds of small fractures exposed on the Martian surface that once directed flows of water through underground Martian sandstone. 'This study provides a picture of not just surface water erosion, but true groundwater effects widely distributed over the planet,' said one of the mission scientists for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been regularly returning terabytes of high-resolution images and other kinds of data from Mars."

---Quote--- *Mars Lander also finds clay and calcium carbonate, more proof of Martian water* Forget trying to find evidence that there used to be water on Mars. Scientists from NASA said today that its instruments on the Red Planet have detected falling snow. While the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been circling the planet, the Phoenix Mars Lander has been sitting on the northern pole of the planet for several months, testing Martian soil samples for any materials -- including water-ice -- that could support life. A robotic arm on the lander has dug up pieces of ice, and the Orbiter has sent back pictures of what look like old fractures in the planet's surface, and trails of waterways. Scientists today added to that mounting list of scientific Martian discoveries with evidence of falling snow. "Nothing like this view has ever been seen on Mars," said Jim Whiteway, lead scientist for the Canadian-supplied Meteorological Station on Phoenix. "We'll be looking for signs that the snow may even reach the ground." In a press conference Monday afternoon, NASA officials said that a laser instrument on the lander has been taking readings of the Mars atmosphere and recently detected snow falling from clouds about 2.5 miles above the planet's surface. The snow apparently is evaporating before reaching the ground. NASA today also noted that recent soil experiments onboard the lander found the presence of calcium carbonate -- a main ingredient in ...

Posted on behalf of Amber Dance The Phoenix spacecraft, having collected evidence for water and ice on the Red Planet, is going for broke. NASA extended its mission today, allowing it to keep up its experiments until the diminishing sunlight, as Mars heads into winter, doesn’t provide enough power and renders it a mere weather station. But unlike the mythical bird, Phoenix is unlikely to rise again when winter’s over. “The little lander is terminal,” said Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program. “It’s battling the weather and it’s battling the temperatures.” Currently, Phoenix basks in more than 20 hours of sunlight per Martian day, or sol. But that time is decreasing, which means that the lander can collect less solar energy. Simultaneously, the temperature is dropping, so Phoenix must expend more energy to keep its electronics warm. Eventually, the lander will lack the energy to keep going, and although it’s possible it will come back to life when the sun returns, engineers are not optimistic. It is expected to last until November or December. “We’re trying to literally make hay as the sun shines,” McCuistion said. But for now, Phoenix is doing great, waking up every morning and communing with the Orbiter Odyssey . It has been scratching the surface, baking soil samples, and even peering under a rock since landing on 25 May, and has already lasted a month longer than planned. It still has four of its eight oven ...
